Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals between the Indiana Pacers and the Miami Heat was a classic, featuring momentous plays from Indiana's Paul George and Miami's LeBron James.

George made the first of the two keys plays of the game. Down 92-89 in the waning seconds of regulation, the Pacers had the ball with every player, coach and fan in the stadium knowing that they needed a 3-pointer to tie the game. On top of that, they knew it was likely that George was the man to take it.

The result? Paul George gets the ball anyway, takes the shot from well beyond the arc and drains it with 0.7 seconds remaining on the clock. Clutch.

Miami, though, would have the last word.

In a somewhat similar situation, the Heat had to inbound the ball with 2.2 seconds remaining in overtime and the Pacers up 102-101, Miami just needed a basket to win. At this point, people who haven't watched the NBA this season probably know that the ball is going to LeBron James in this situation.

James, who was matched up with George, sprinted to the top of the 3-point arc and then darted down the lane, easily blowing past George, en route to an uncontested layup while the rest of the Pacers defense watches, unable to collapse around the basket in time.

There are two large takeaways from this play. The first is the image of George going up to meet James near the top of the key, perhaps expecting him to take a jump shot with so little time left on the clock. In the end, George guessed wrong.

However, the morning after James' layup went in, the bigger question was not about George's defense, but the decision to not play Pacers center Roy Hibbert in that situation. Hibbert, who is one of the best interior defenders in the league, was notably absent as James strode to the hoop, an area that is easily classified as Hibbert's territory.

The reaction to Hibbert's late-game benching is probably best encapsulated by the center himself (credit to @cjzero)
